Guilt, Growth, and Getting in the Game | Justin Cross
Justin Cross is a man who’s walked through fire - and came out clearer, stronger, and more committed to helping others do the same.
In this series of podcast shorts, he opens up about the inner battles most men face but rarely talk about - from shame and purpose to leadership, action, and what it really means to build a life that’s fully yours.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, restless, or unsure of your next move… these are for you.
Unlock Your Next Level
What’s holding you back might be invisible to everyone but you. In this clip, Justin breaks down the two biggest things keeping most men stuck. He’s seen it in all kinds of men - from Army Rangers to tennis coaches to billionaires. Because breaking free isn’t about becoming someone else - it’s about finally being you. If you’ve ever felt like you had to fit in, play small, or carry shame that no one knows about - what would you change if you finally let that sh*t go?
Action & Resilience for a Better Life
When you live life on your own terms, that’s freedom. Scroll long enough, and it’ll seem like every guy has a better house, better job, better body. But Justin flips the script and asks the question that matters: What would it look like to build a life that’s fully yours - and actually feel good living it? Comparison will eat you alive. In this reel, he breaks down what “purpose” really means for men today - and how to find yours by living life on your terms, not someone else’s highlight reel.
Find True Job Satisfaction
If you're not in the game, you’ll never know the win. Justin brings the heat in this one - drawing on Teddy Roosevelt’s “Man in the Arena” and why most guys today are stuck watching from the sidelines. Talk is cheap. Action is everything. The only way to grow, lead, or win… is to actually get in the game. Whether it’s business, family, or your own personal goals — you gotta step in, make a call, and live with the result. That’s where real growth happens.
How to Inspire Others to Lead
Real leaders bleed with their team. Justin lays it down: real leaders don’t just give orders - they sweat, suffer, and show up with their people. From punching mannequins to hiking with his team, he talks about the power of shared struggle and showing others how to lead by leading yourself first. When you show up in the dirt, shoulder to shoulder with your crew - that’s what makes people follow. Not titles. Not talk.
